Deputy President William Ruto has condemned the violence witnessed in Kitui County on Saturday, saying it is no way to approach the during the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
The DP noted on Sunday that bridges cannot be built with violence and that each person has a right to be heard as the BBI matter concerns all Kenyans.
“It is not time for brainwashing, bravado and positioning, that only help to create division," he said at Itierio Girls' Secondary School in Kisii, during the consecration of Bishop Joseph Omwoyo of Evangelical Lutheran Church.
RESPECT
The DP pleaded with politicians to embrace unity and end tribal and divisive politics.
“Let us carry out this debate with respect. There are no views that are better than others. Let all be given an opportunity to speak,” he said.
He added, "Let us work together, be patient with one another and listen to each other. Even the meek and weak have something to say. This debate does not belong to leaders or politicians only. It won’t hurt anybody ... it won’t break any bone ... let us be patient with ourselves. You can’t build bridges with violence."
Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi and MPs Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango) and Alpha Miruka (Bomachoge Chache), who received the DP, assured him of their support in his bid for the presidency.
